Do you care about parks and gardens in Potrero? Complete the Green Spaces Survey today!

Do you want our neighborhood parks and gardens better maintained and improved?

A group of volunteer leaders from the Dogpatch Neighborhood Association (DNA) and the Potrero Boosters have joined together with UP Urban, a non-profit, to form a Green Benefit District (GBD) in our neighborhood. As part of this process we’re surveying the community about neighborhood green spaces, how you use them, how you’d like to see them maintained and/or improved, and your willingness to fund maintenance and/or improvements. The Green Spaces Survey is an important opportunity to share your priorities and opinions. Your feedback will ultimately be incorporated into a draft Green Management Plan that reflects our neighborhood’s shared vision and goals for parks and green space in Potrero Hill and Dogpatch.

Please join us at our next Rebuild Potrero Community Building Group Meeting on April 4th.

This meeting will be an exciting opportunity to learn more about the Rebuild Potrero Community Building Initiative and to launch the new Potrero Community Mural Project. We will also get an update about the progress on our successful HUD South Potrero Choice Neighborhood Planning Grant and hear from a few of the Advisory Committee members that are helping to guide this significant effort.

The Department of Public Works, SF Planning, SFMTA, and SF General Hospital Rebuild are hosting an informational session to discuss the future design of streetscape improvements to Potrero Avenue, 21st to 25th Streets. The public is invited to join.

This project will bring a revitalizing facelift to the public space adjacent to the SF General Hospital with pedestrian safety improvements, wider sidewalks, new landscaping and new sidewalk amenities. (Construction of the new hospital, as well as the Potrero Avenue Streetscape is scheduled for completion in 2015.)

There will be a brief presentation of the timeline and design options, and then the City would like to hear your thoughts on ways to improve this important corridor. The project is funded by the 2011 Road Repaving & Street Safety Bond.

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Rebuild Potrero has a lot to be thankful for this year, and we would like to celebrate with you at our next Community Building Group Meeting on December 6th.

Join us for a soul food dinner at 6:00 followed by a recap of the year’s progress and a discussion of the exciting initiatives that will be launched in 2013. We will also talk about the impact of our successful application for the Choice Neighborhood Planning Grant and nominate community stakeholders that can help guide the planning process over the next two years by participating in the South Potrero Choice Neighborhood Advisory Committee.

I hope you can make the Community Building Group Meeting on December 6 from 6-8 at the NABE to discuss this further and share your ideas.

Let me know if you have any questions,
